Okay some of us can't open unapproved links, if you want replies, copy and paste the artical you are referencing to make it easier on us (and satisfy our curiousity).
Judging by the title of this URL I'm assuming you aren't going to get much information from Rich. I've noticed in the past that when something with the wireless world OUTSIDE of the U.S. he normally lets ya know that ps focuses on U.S. Carriers. Thus the reason you ...

FeedbackMay 8, 2009, 11:49 AM in the phonescoop.com forum
Hey just wanted to extend some feedback.
Noticed the results from the new(ish) "Search Site" button still shows "Beta".
As someone who browses forums, news articles, in-depth articles and events, I read alot that I sometimes like to refer back to and the option to search the site AND get it categorized by where it can be found has made things ten times easier, I honestly find myself using it daily.

Re: Palm PRE specsMay 4, 2009, 5:04 PM in the phonescoop.com forum
lol okay, that makes sense.
Have you heard anything about vis vm?
I've been reading around and same thing, no one has a simple straight answer.

Not WorkingMay 4, 2009, 4:06 PM in the phonescoop.com forum
Yeah I havn't seen any "Green text of death"
Not a single one, and I go through forums alot.
I even see people talking about a specific word in the forums and don't see anything.
Am I special Rich?

Palm PREMay 4, 2009, 3:21 PM in the phonescoop.com forum
As we get closer to release date this phone should leave the rumor mill soon enough and go to a normal forum. We all discussed it pretty in depth during the CES2009 forum as well.
I'm thinking that since it is a higher-then-average release and obviously monumental I suggest you open another forum for it, even though it hasn't been officially released.
There is enough information out there about the phone that it would be nice to have it all ...

Re: CDMA phones unlocking?????Apr 20, 2009, 1:01 PM in the General forum
Sprit and Verizon are both CDMA.
I'm aware that I cannot switch between CDMA and GSM, what I'm trying to figure out is if I can use an unlocked phone universally between CDMA carriers.

CDMA phones unlocking?????Apr 18, 2009, 3:22 PM in the General forum
Okay I have sprint and feel like a dumb*** for asking but I work with GSM phones and don't know how this works.
I want to get the samsung Juke for my lil brother (adding a line to my account). but I have sprint. If this was AT&T and T-Mobile I'd just get an unlocking code and update the sim card. Anything comperable with CDMA phones so I can let my brother use this phone on my Sprint account?

Do any of you fellow PSers work in AT&T Warranty (XBM) and live in the U.S.?

Re: What the heck!?Apr 7, 2009, 11:08 AM in the Sprint forum
See that's what I figured, which is why I'm really confused, cuz I've got the simply everything, just like I always have and currently have a credit from a deposit return... So very confusing.

Re: What the heck!?Apr 6, 2009, 6:58 PM in the Sprint forum
Yeah I noticed the things that all said Premier all around there are gone now too.
Why would they "demote" someone when no changes have been made to the account?

What the heck!?Apr 6, 2009, 6:48 PM in the Sprint forum
So I keep track of my online account very closely. Watch bills, check upgrade elig, etc...
I've been elig for a $150 discount off phones for a while now, and am holding out for the Palm Pre :D
Here's the problem. I logged into my online account today and it says now I'm only elig for a $75 discount!!!!?
Nothing else has changed on the account, not even the balance since the last time I checked it. I don't get it, they ...

Sprint PremierMar 31, 2009, 7:18 PM in the phonescoop.com forum
I remember reading something not too long ago in I believe a news artical about Sprint's introduction of "Premier Customers". The artical included the bonuses and requirements of being a "Sprint Premier" Customer. I can't seem to find the artical with the "Search Site" option.
Am I trippin or was I reading elsewhere or did it get deleted or what?

Re: Stumped by this question:Mar 31, 2009, 7:02 PM in the Shop Talk forum
Representatives for AT&T customer care have the option to create an account for the BB support website and get the password emailed to their supervisors. Not all reps know about this and even fewer take the time to apply for the login, as it is not required and much easier to just transfer to tech.
Those few of us who have these logins can often override PINs and provide customer's temp pins based on their IMEI.
If you found ...

Re: is sprint going under???Mar 31, 2009, 1:19 PM in the Rumor Mill forum
There's no way.
If there was even the slightest chance, rumor, or word that the company was going under or even downsizing no manufactorer would sign contracts with them, especially with exclusive releases like the Palm Pre.

I do believe some grammar corrections are in order...Mar 27, 2009, 6:00 PM in the Shop Talk forum
I do agree with every one else, the all-caps are friggin annoying.
Second... how did you mis-type that? The "V" key and the "T" key aren't exactly right next to eachother... Did anyone else notice this is a thread where the title makes NO SENSE?

And lastly... how can you have a teen in his 20s? I'm very confused...

Re: Long Day...Mar 25, 2009, 5:32 PM in the Shop Talk forum
My ideas:
*Stare blankly at closest wall, the littlest amount of brain function used the better
*Amuse self by acting as if a ghost and annoying customer's can't see you
*Play pranks on co-workers. If working alone play pranks on self and hope no one is watching
*Two words ... Prank Calls
*Practice impersonations (suggested only to those times when your working alone)
*Play hopscotch (I don't know why...)
*See if you can master the Gambet card throw (Much more difficult then the X-Man makes it ...

Re: suggestion (options) Mar 25, 2009, 12:20 PM in the phonescoop.com forum
Well said Rich, and I agree.
Where PS members are talking about highly debatable subjects (I.E. Equipment manufactors and service providers) it would be more then aggrivating when someone puts in useful information or advice and it be deleted because of a biased view from the thread starter.
I say leave it as-is, and as long as threads/posts are within the Ts & Cs let em stand.

Palm PreMar 17, 2009, 1:07 PM in the Rumor Mill forum
Okay I know we've had a bunch of threads about this but I thought it necessairy to bring it up again.
Anyone hear anything new about release dates or prices?
Sprint still says they don't know anything about it but I have learned to not trust customer care reps like myself :D
Let me know what you guys might have heard.

Re: Nokia 2600Feb 25, 2009, 1:15 PM in the phonescoop.com forum
Yeah I noticed that not long after making this post, the coloring (as displayed on ps) threw me off. But a agree entirely that this is aggravating, and wonder if it was done on purpose or was a mistake and they didn't feel it was important enough to fix it....

The official announcement from AT&T is at follows: Feb 23, 2009, 10:47 PM in the Article: Quickfire Pulled from AT&T Stores forum
AT&T has received reports that the Quickfire GTX75 is not meeting minimum performance expectations for AT&T. All sales should be immediately suspended.
All Channels should Stop selling the Quickfire GTX75 immediately and quarantine all existing inventory pending additional updates. This quarantine includes demo units. Do not return unsold inventory to the AT&T Returns Center until instruction is provided.

Nokia 2600Feb 19, 2009, 6:55 PM in the phonescoop.com forum
There is an new edition of the nokia 2600 offered as a replacement option from AT&T (an upgrade from the 2610).
The only 2600 that you list is the previously offered prepaid phone.
Any chance this is going to be updated, or are you skipping it due to the device similarities?

CorrectFeb 17, 2009, 10:03 PM in the Shop Talk forum
You are correct in this assumption. The cancelation on the account can in fact NOT be canceled until the equipment is returned. If it is not returned then the customer is required to pay the ETF to cancel the account.

You might get better response in Techs and Trends or possibly general, or the manufactor's forum.

My firewall doesn't block specific sites, it blocks them all, then they do an allow list.
I have a way of getting past it, but every time I do my sup walks up behind my back and says "close that page"

Re: Rather than Apple suing, Apple is being sued!Feb 16, 2009, 10:58 PM in the General forum
That's the truth. PRE was a RAVE at CES so I think it'll get more recognition then anything, but as we've seen before, the "background" phones sometimes come out to be way better in the end, SOMETIMES.
I'm a big believer that PALM hit this one right on the money though, and can't wait to FINALLY get my upgrade and go with the PRE.
I keep hearing mid-april from my buddy at a COR store, but he admits everything they are ...

Re: Rather than Apple suing, Apple is being sued!Feb 16, 2009, 10:42 PM in the General forum
No joke. You'd think that when apple and at&t first started advertising the iPhone they would have been all over that.
If they win, think it'll affect Palm using the software for their new OS being released on the PRE?
